Republican congressional leaders Moscow Mitch and Kevin McCarthy temporarily grew balls after the Capitol insurrection before slinking back to their prostrate positions in fear of the Orange God Emperor, the New York Times reports on an excerpt from the upcoming book “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden and the Battle for America’s Future” from NYT reports Alex Burns and Jon Martin.
“The Democrats are going to take care of the son of a bitch for us,” said Mitch on January 11th, 2021, about the then-imminent second impeachment of Trump over the riot. McConnell was reportedly ready to vote to convict, but then backed out, saying privately “I didn’t get to be leader by voting with five people in the conference.”
